[Q] Tap-to-focus doesn't work - I'm running Cyanogen 7 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

So I put Cyanogen 7 on my Galaxy S II. My tap-to-focus doesn't work in the camera though. I tried looking through the settings but can't fix it. The camera focuses only after I press the button to take the picture. Please help.

Because CM7 is AOSP derived, to the best of my knowledge, AOSP doesn't have that feature. Features like that are incorporated.
I had a samsung moment from sprint that was "vanilla android" and it couldnt do it either so im basing my assumptions off that.
Somebody please correct me if im wrong

wrong it is in the camera settings under focus type i believe and select touch

Nick - it doesn't have a touch option in the settings under focus mode.

Hit the menu button and there is an advanced options menu. You can select pre focus or long press focus

I don't have that option. Mine only shows Auto, macro, off, fixed, facedetect.
Anyone know what the problem could be?

Are you using the onscreen menu button or the capacitive one?
Use the button left capacitive menu button to access the advanced options menu

I went to advanced settings as well and the only two focus options it gives me is Pre Focus and Long Focus, neither of those solves the issue.
The only way I kinda solved the issue is i downloaded the MIUI camera. That lets me tap-to-focus but I don't like the layout of it. I want the camera app that is given in CM 7 to work right.

Open the camera,
Choose the on-screen options button (not the capacitive button)
Under Focus Mode the options are:
Auto
Macro
Off
Touch
Fixed
Facedetect
Touch works fine for me on the latest CM7 build.

Please see a few posts above. I don't have touch as an option. I tried that method already.

I think some screen shots are going to be needed to make sure there's no confusion. Please post screen shots while in the camera app showing your available options.

Ok here are some pictures of the settings.
1st picture shows the on-screen settings and the 2nd picture shows the advanced settings which was accessed by the menu soft-key.

Looks like it may need a reflash of cm7 then. Not sure what else it could be.

agreed... i think he changed the APK out, or perhaps he is using the old RC1 CM7 version...

Ok well I re-flashed CM 7.1 from the Cyanogen website, the most up-to-date ROM and the camera still won't tap-to-focus and doesn't give me the option in the settings. If someone has any idea what it could be I would be pretty happy...it's frustrating.

I keep hitting the HOLD BUTTON on free x10.

Hello,
Is there any way to get rid of that ******* hold button on freex10 . i have pressed it like numerous times and it wont take long before i really bang my head on the wall .
Can we replace the phone apk ( i dont know what it is really called , Dialer app?)
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Two things, is the proximity sensor on the phone working? IE, does the phone screen black out when u put it up to your face?? If NOT, that is the main issue.
Two, you can go into settings and change the layout of the dialer for left or right handed and move the hold button away from your face!
Hope this helps,
Chris

Still should be there on 2.2 roms, phone settings, scroll to bottom of the page, left handed option?? Hmmmm, not sure what dialers are in the market, my wife used an ed hardy themed dialer, but that was on 2.1fw... might be an option?

I did check many a times ... i don't have this option . don't know why.. and think there is no way to over-ride the stock dialer app which shows ON-CALL . i am i wrong here ?( i wish i am )
and why is my right handed/left handed setting is missing ? "confused"
Haven't run z's rom since first beta, but on other aosp based 2.2's its there n on my 6.1.1cm rom I just looked it up..... hmmm, I am stumped... hit android market, should have a dialer option or two!!

i can CONFIRM that the settings ARE in FreeX10 Beta 4.
Go to your homescreens -->> press menu -->> settings -->> call settings -->> check left-hand mode (2nd last before "other call settings") -->> reboot
I have the same problem with the same rom. Yesterday I lost half of my story because of this . Changing the settings is not an option because I tend to switch sides a lot during a call. Might try another dialer.

pls let me know if u find a way to replace the stock dialer. i have tried other dialers but they dont override the stock dialer during call
You could try freezing the stock dialed in titanium..?

HTC IME Mod

Has anybody messed with this to get it to work. I tried a couple things but it didn't work. No crash just didn't show. Thanks

I got the keyboard to show by going to /Settings/Language & Keyboard/HTC_IME mod settings/User Interface and changing the Key width adjust and Key height adjust. It actually didn't matter what I changed them to, I just iterated through 5, 10 and 15px, and after a few changes the keyboard just appeared. (Don't forget to Kill keyboard in order for the changes to take effect; also in the HTC_IME mod settings).
The only thing not working for me right now is the vibration feedback when a key is pressed. All necessary settings seem to be in place, but I haven't gotten it to work yet.

Didn't work for me. I went through 5, 10, and 15. killing the keyboard each time. Then went through the entire list from 0-15 killing the keyboard after every change. Still couldn't get it to popup. Are you using the hires froyo from the htc_ime mod thread?

Yes. I actually tried both htc_ime_jonasl_hires_27.zip and htc_ime_jonasl_hires22_27.zip, and at this point I'm not sure which is the one that's working. I'm assuming it is the 22_27 version, but I may be mistaken.
Did you try both?

I ended up getting it to work by going through the gimpsta themer and selecting the optimus option in the high res kitchen. It shows just fine without tweaking it, but it does fill the screen in portrait. In landscape it works perfectly. So I am going to tweak the xmls to see if I can make it fit. Did you install clicker_hi.apk for the haptic feedback? Its working on mine.

The keyboard is displaying properly in both portrait and landscape mode for me.
And I did install clicker_hi, but I'll give it another try...
ETA: Reinstalling didn't work...

Hi, there is a possibility the HTC IME Mod to the Galaxy Note to use? I can install the app though. But the resolution does not fit into the display so it is much too small.

[Q] Atrix displays screen coordinates

Hi,
My gf's Atrix started acting funny (and she obviously claims there's nothing she had done...):
It appears to have some sort of layer over the screen which displays the touch screen coordinates and the trail of each touch.
Scrolling between screen has slown down at times.
I looked for any strange application, but couldn't find anything.
Using Atrix 4G + CM7 7.2
I'm attaching a screenshot of the home screen (look at the top of the image), which came out blurry...
Anyone?
Thanks!!
Its the Dev Tools app. Open it and it's called pointer location but I don't know why its permanent. Does it stick on reboot?
I'll ask her to take a look.
It does stick on reboot though...
Really odd. What version of cm7 is she running? Stable, RC1-3, or one of the nightlies?
Settings-Developer Options-Pointer Location. Turn that off.
She can't find Developer Options under settings.
Is it under some other category within settings?

Ah, yes, sorry, my bad. That's where it is on CM9's settings. It's been a while since I've used CM7, but IIRC it was in CM Settings-System-Dev Tools-Dev Settings-Pointer Location.
Solved
Worked!!
Thanks alot!

How to remove camera shutter sound?

How I can remove Camera shutter sound? Couldn't find a way that works.
this is forbidden in some countries
If you slide your finger from left to right whilst camera is active you will see a cog symbol in the bottom right corner of the display. Click the cog for more settings.
Unthick HDR, beauty or sharp auto mode to see the settings
Thanks, found it.
Just go to settings and deactivete it
Was the camera settings removed in the latest OTA? I recall seeing it before updating to 2.1.3-x but now I can't seem to find it in the camera app. Can someone please confirm? I want to disable the shutter sound without changing the notification slider. Thanks

It is there. Just swipe while the camera is active from left to right. You see the cog on the right side. It will open the settings and let you disable the camera sound.

I don't see the cog icon when swiping left to right. I do remember seeing it in the past, but I don't see it anymore. Here's a screenshot after swiping left to right, and another after clicking the menu icon:

Delete the file from from

It seems that the settings icon only appears if you open the camera app from the application icon either through the app drawer or from the desktop. Previously I was opening it with a capacitive button shortcut (long pressing my recent apps button, which I set up in the system settings) or by using the camera shortcut on the lock screen. Odd but at least now I know I can still access the camera settings. Not sure if this is intentional or if it's a software bug. Hopefully this post helps others who can't seem to find the camera settings as well.

No options after taking screenshot LG V60 Thinq Dual Screen

So sorry if this has already been discussed but when I take a screenshot on my phone, whether it be pressing power and volume at the same time, or using the other 2 options to take a screen shot, I don't get that thumbnail image where you can select options to edit the picture, scrolling screenshot, etc.
I've searched everywhere for options, but can't find any answers online.
I see the thumbnail pop-up for literally a split second where no human can possibly select an option. The only other photo app I have installed on my phone is QuickPic but I don't think that's causing it.
Can anyone help me with this issue? The phone is only 3 weeks old and pretty stock in terms of apps on it. I keep everything very simple. Non-root of course, no mods whatsoever.
thank you in advance!

It got broken 2 updates ago for me. Broke the floating bar I was using as well. I'm using an alternate until they fix their broken updates or I just get sick of all these bugs
Did you turn your animations all the way off. If so you won't see the thumbnail with the options.

Pretty much as far as I can remember since there has been options added and a window popup made rather than just a notification for a screen shot. AOSP ROMs that I have developed for call for a window animation value, and unless it is set for a hard coded value, it will default to what the system window animation value is.

My issue is the screenshot will save, the SS will show in the notification pull down, but the edit option doesn't do anything anymore. Only share and delete work from the pull down. This is since the June 1 security patch. That patch also broke my floating bar for screenshots, screen recording, crop etc. I am having to use a 3rd party floating bar that constantly turns itself off when the phone goes in deep sleep. Even have the battery saving turned off for it. Why would they break such an important feature.

Hm, that I am not sure as my edit button for a screenshot from the notification works fine. Also all my options in floating bar are working fine. If you can get me a logcat of when you select the edit option and may be able to tell you why.
